There are a lot of things we keep in our vehicles while driving around Louisiana for those "just in case" moments, but I'm guessing a tea bag is not one of them for most folks.

I was fascinated to come across the news that keeping a tea bag in your ride can be surprisingly helpful to Louisiana drivers.

Yes, we live in a world that just keeps getting weirder. Despite that odd idea that Louisiana car owners should keep a tea bag in their cars, once we dive into the reasons, it'll make sense.

So, just why in the world would you want to keep a tea bag in your car at all times?

According to LifeHackWiz.com, keeping a tea bag in your vehicle does a few beneficial things.

For one, get a tea bag that smells amazing to you because the fresh smell will diffuse into your vehicle and you can create your own aromatherapy spa.

And if you want more fragrance, simply put a tea bag in the ventilation slots. It's just as effective and a lot safer for you and your family than regular air fresheners.

Even better is that this natural car air freshener will last for months.

In addition, tea bags help to "absorb moisture, which will eradicate bacteria responsible for bad odors."

Now that's got to be quite helpful during our wonderful hot and humid Louisiana summers.

So, there you go, tea bag away, kids.

Okay, maybe don't do exactly that...but you get what I mean.
